What You Need to Know About the SAVE Act

The SAVE Act is bad. While lots of people are talking about the ID portion, It creates a criminal cause of action to put election workers in prison for (even accidentally) registering someone to vote without ID.

"I'm too old for this imperial shit" - Black Skin, White Masks

Sign made of plywood propped up in a telephone pole by the street. It has ‘We won’t forget what you did. Abolish ICE.’

Plywood sign on sidewalk says, ‘3000 neighbors stolen ICE OUT everywhere’

Hey @triangleman.bsky.social, maybe a new Math-on-a-Stick station?

A photo of a sidewalk with two circles. Each circle has six smaller circles inside, colored (clockwise from 3 o’clock) blue, purple, teal, red, pink, yellow. In the center of each circle is a pair of bare footprints. Between the two larger circles are the words “mirror me”

This is lovely.

A screenshot of a thread with the following questions: On the water front - Are you having enough to drink today? Do you need anything to wash and clean? Can I help replenish any tears you've shed? Are you staying fluid these days? Are your waters calm, still, deep, turbulent, rushing, frozen, evaporated...? Through the fire - Where is the sun for you? Are you in enough light? How can I help you stay warm? What's burning for you? Do you need any fuel? What spark are you carrying? Is your blaze to high? Do you need rekindling? What's the smoke? From the earth - How grounded are you feeling? What is nourishing your soil? Where are you rich? Are you getting vitamins/minerals? Can I help you stand more firmly? Are you eating your veggies? When was your last rest? Do you need to lay down? In the air - Have you taken a breath? What's inspiring you? Have you felt the wind/breeze? What's in your wings/sails? Can I help you stay afloat? What do you need to fly? What whisper would you like to hear?

Some friends and I were wondering if these dystopian days will bring about the end of asking each other, “how are you doing?” and it brought me back to these nurturing & sustaining questions, gifted by @teachnexttmb.bsky.social as a better way.

For all my non-Minnesota people, do not think for a second that Frey has anything to do with getting ICE the fuck out of Minneapolis.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Homans announcement just means they’re going somewhere else.

TODAY YOU MUST CALL YOUR SENATORS AND DEMAND THEY ABOLISH ICE AND DISMANTLE DHS AND RETURN OUR NEIGHBORS. CLOSE DOWN THE CAMPS!

I pulled together a small list of body camera-related resources, just in case anybody is curious about how abolitionists think about them.

I am here for all of it!! Want to read that dissertation 😍

What game?

Macbeth: SHIT

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Thinking about the fact that the writing on the football was in English.

The audience for THAT message - significant.

Truly going to be thinking of the incredible brilliance & beauty of that show for a long time! 💛

GREATEST HALFTIME SHOW EVER!

Put this family up in the Governor’s Mansion and dare this administration to come get him, @governorwalz.mn.gov

Fuck this shit.

SCORPION: take me across the river
FROG: if I do that, you'll sting me
S: if I sting you, we'll both drown
F: ok, that makes sense
*halfway across the river*
F: so?
S: so what?
F: sting me
S: what?
F: sting me, like you promised
S: no
F: sting me so we'll both drown
S: *crying* what is happening?

“We call ourselves a civilized nation, but we lack rules and accountability around what a person claiming to be law enforcement is permitted to do to another human being. I am not afraid and I am not afraid to keep working on this problem even after ICE is gone." - Aliya Rahman

Hero.

YouTube video by PBS NewsHour WATCH: Minneapolis resident and U.S. citizen Aliya Rahman describes being detained by ICE

The testimony of Aliya Rahman, Bangladeshi American & U.S. citizen, before Congress about her violent ICE arrest and detention.

“Hold on, hold on, my dear ones, here comes the dawn.”

“Oh in the great unraveling, I love you.”

Communal singing led by a Justice Choir tonight at the site of Alex Pretti’s final moments. In case you need a good cry, like I did.

“Only through heartbreak
did I learn to shake,
And the strength
And the depth
Of my heart.”

BREAKING: A federal judge has EXTENDED Haiti TPS!

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes’ order read it was “substantially likely” that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem preordained her termination decision because of “hostility to nonwhite immigrants.”

HERE TO STAY!
WI NOU KAPAB!

After ICE release St. Paul woman, she says agents keep returning to her home Thi Dua Vang legally came to the U.S. two years ago. So when ICE showed up, she thought it must have been a mistake.

Woman with legal status taken from her family home in St Paul by ICE, flown to Texas, held for two weeks before being ordered released by a judge. She lost her job. She's afraid to go outside because agents keep coming to her home.

You’re describing an emergency. The world is also watching you and waiting for you to do something.

Are you going to establish an eviction moratorium? Rent is due today.
